american history, you had a president who had no coattails, 36 days to come in, facing an adversarial environment. it would have been easy for democrats to hold a dinner meeting on inaugural eve and say the way we can regain power is to stomp on his neck and never let up, vote against everything he wants and block him and his presidency will die aborning. they cooperated immediately on no child left behind with george miller and ted kennedy and that gave him a victory that established the legitimacy of his presidency, whether you like the substance or not. democratic votes provided the margin for the tax cuts, like those that were a hallmark of the bush presidency. democrats saved the votes on the t.a.r.p. program, like it or not, that saved the bush presidency. now contrast that with what we now know from another brook, robert drapers about the meeting that took place with top republican leaders on inaugural eve in 2009, a president who came in with a 70% approval rating in the worst economy since the great depression, vote against everything and make the victories look so ugly it will delegitim
